Blog Product Updates, Announcements, & Productivity Insights

This probably won’t be of interest to all 125 million Android users out there, but for the ones that really want relief from their inboxes, we’re here to help.

Today we announce AwayFind for Android. If you’re an existing AwayFind user, you’ll now be able to route urgent emails to your Android phone or tablet. And, unlike with our (very popular) SMS alerts, you can read the whole message and even reply without a visit to the distracting world of your inbox.

We’ve made the setup super easy:

1. Setup a Gmail or Google Apps account in less than a minute (or setup Exchange or IMAP accounts on the web). 2. Then just decide which people should trigger an alert. 3. Done.

You will be alerted with an Android push notification when urgent messages from these senders arrive, so you can stay away from your inbox the rest of the time. You can still use the other AwayFind tools you love, such as our Gmail plugin and calendar integration–both of which take just a minute or two to setup on the web.
